I still havent applied for it yet.
I'm waiting for my Discover to report so that Barclays can give me at least half of the CL. I'm thinking a MacBook Pro and an iPad 2. So if they give me about 3k, that would be great. I only have 1 inq on my TU from Discover.
Or they might see that my Discover card is too recent and deny me.
When I apped for the Apple CC in March my TU was 797 (FICO) 27 years of history, 6yrs AAoA's, 3 inq's, 1% util, perfectly clean report.
At the time of app, My highest CL was 2000 on my AmEx Blue Cash (now 6000) and they matched it, I was not happy, so I called (three times) and finally spoke to a gentleman who was very helpful and explained that they have matched my highest CL, but he would raise my Apple CL to 2500.
To be honest, I made a mistake when apping for this card, I meant to app for the Priceline (had two tabs open and filled out the wrong app) <---Dumb me!!!! And yes I did explain I made a mistake and asked if I could PC to the Priceline, and was told I would have to re app and if approved they would slide my 2500CL from my Apple to my Priceline and just close the Apple, I just did not want two new Accts, so I decided to keep the Apple and hope it grows.
I now have CL's on other CC's of 16K 10K 6K 5K and so on, I'm not sure I'll call for a CLI or just wait to see if I get an auto CLI, I do NOT want Barclays to hard my TU for a CLI, but if I do call and ask for a CLI it will be to match my lowest prime CC @ 5K.
Best of Luck!
Sorry I'm confused is this the Apple Store card or can it be used anywhere? Thanks!

It is a Visa card that can be use anywhere Visa is accepted, but there is special financing available on your first Apple purchase.
That's awesome. I've been wanting to get an iPad. Thank you!
I want to app this card so freaking bad it's killing me. However stupid TU is taking their sweet time deleting a baddie I had GW'ed. Maybe it's God's way of saying "you'll be rejected, don't take the inq" LOL.
I'm too chicken to even try it right now. I know they pull TU, so I will wait for my TU to get a bit up.
I hope they match it to my Discover; that would be the bomb.
Just applied today with a TU score around 620, was denied but called back door number and after talking to a very nice lady for 10 minutes, was approved for $1400 that I said I was using to purchase a macbook. Have 5 negatives (4 of which are falling off in the next 6 months) 7 INQ, UTL 8%.
This wraps up a very positive 24 hours
Barclay/Apple $1400
Discover $1000
Jareds $4000
My TU is at 55% util. I better wait until i can bring this below 30%.
I can't speak for everyone else, but my TU was at around 675 with 15+ inqs, and they declined initially, and after 2 callbacks they recon'd and gave me $1500 TL. I am thrilled with this, however, with the recon, they pulled EX, I'm in Ohio...
Though I'd love to press my luck for maybe another 1000, I don't want to jinx the already great thing that has happened to me as I know I'm sort of on the fringe of what they would consider creditworthy.
Just a heads up to anyone on this matter who DOES open a card, they are known for being Inq/Uti sensitive right after you open an account with them, so lay off the app button for a few months and don't let your uti creep up too high because they just might swoop in and CLD or cancel that nice new account
